Polish defender, Maik Nawrocki, today joined CelticFC on a five-year deal – subject to international clearance with the club paying a fee of £4.3m to Legia Warsaw for the central defender. Maik Nawrocki will wear the Number 17 jersey for the Scottish Champions and Treble winners and doesn’t he look absolutely delighted to have signed for Celtic?
The player was pictured along with new signings Yang Hyun-jun and Kwon Hyeok-kyu, who were announced on Monday. Now that all formalities have been agreed Celtic have officially confirmed the fifth summer signing.
In 60 appearances for Legia Warsaw, Nawrocki has assisted 4 times and scored on 5 occasions but it has been his powerful displays at the back that have sparked interest from across Europe with Celtic winning the race to bring the Polish defender to Paradise.
Whilst Nawrocki is predominately a central defender, the 22-year-old can also play on the right side of defence. Along with Hyun-jun and Hyeok-kyu, Rodgers has also added Norwegian kid Odin Thiago Holm and Australian winger Marco Tilio.
With Cameron Carter Vickers now returning to full fitness and the signing of Maik Nawrocki the central defensive situation at Celtic has just got a whole lot better!

Good signing and its true starfelt is was under estimeted but not after last season him and ccv were best partenship in spl and im sure with Rodgers input might even improve his set play un opents box can improve and will has to keep consintrating for 90 mins his speed helps him with the new signing and maybe another the left is thought the weak side of Celtic defence need to pass ball quicker along the back one touch taylor passes back to much which put defence back midfield has to move forward 5meters give iur central defenders space Mc Gregor or who plats in that rule are getting ball to them clised of with man to man marking on him with Rodgers tweeking things that will change and i expect to score or have plenty chances with coaches trying to stop change in set up most park the bus that us nit good for football but stopping Celtic from getting three pionts makes them team of the week you would thunk after a european game in midweek some coaches would go for it as the keep telling us games against Celtic wont determine there season but they still park the bus its determines the league at top uf they take any pionts of Celtic its more depriving Celtic F.C of three pionts that majs them park the bus the multi ball change good for game but refs have to start to be tougher on time waisting goal keepers are terrible yellow cards have to be shown the team that are looking to win the game needs the officails to keep the ball moving for scottish football we are trying to get sponsurs so make games faster more excitement sfa spl have to sale our game ruin ir game fir the sake if prepujust agaunst ine team
